RE to cover 60% of Daeseung Autoparts India power
Sunsure Energy has signed long-term solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with Daeseung Autoparts India Private Limited, the Indian subsidiary of the South Korea–based Daeseung Group, a prominent player within the global automotive components industry, and Ilgahng Automotive, a Korean-origin automotive company from the same business group.
Under the agreement with Daeseung, Sunsure Energy will supply approximately 8 million units of power annually to Daeseung’s Kanchipuram facility from its 75 MWp solar plant at Ilayangudi, Tamil Nadu.
The agreement will allow Daeseung Autoparts India to meet close to 60% of its total power demand with renewable energy, offsetting approximately 5,800 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions per year.
This partnership reflects Seoul-headquartered Daeseung Group’s leadership in the global automotive supply chain and its commitment to sustainability by integrating renewable energy into its Indian manufacturing operations. It also highlights Sunsure Energy’s position as the partner of choice for leading manufacturing companies in Tamil Nadu and across India.
Similarly, for Ilgahng Automotive, Sunsure will supply approximately 4.7 million units of power to their Kanchipuram facility from its Ilayangudi solar plant. This will help Ilgahng offset 3,400 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions per year.
Commenting on the partnership, Shin Sangki – Managing Director, Daeseung Autoparts India, said on 6 Mar, “Daeseung has always believed in powering progress responsibly. Our collaboration with Sunsure Energy allows us to align our India operations with the Group’s global sustainability goals.
